[Chameleon] Odd color switching when using identify and transparency is set

Hello,

Everything was fine with my map colors until I added TRANSPARENCY 80 
to my Parks layer.

My querymap hilite is set to red.  I also have another layer 
campgrounds that is symbolized by red triangles.  The colors look 
fine if I'm just panning and zooming.  When I use identify tool to 
click on a park, the hilite for the polygon is black and all of my 
campground symbols also turn black.

After more experimenting, I found that if I turn off the hillshade 
raster, I don't have the color switching problem.

Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?  I've attached my 
mapfile below.

Regards,
Jennifer
